@Dezaki. S/he sacrificed her right arm (let it be grabbed) and bound her left arm to the cart. Her left arm tehn got strained, when the vulture yanked at her midfilght. Saw that wrongly.
The feeling when traveling with someone in a group for several days, chatting and laughing with each other and then being asked, "You're Ellen-san, right?" ¬_¬
@Qelix: Her left arm was the one grabbed, and the thread was tied around her waist. There's no indication of wounds to her right arm at all during the fight, although there are some smaller bandages on it afterwards.
@Madcat6204: My mistake. As those bruises on her right arm have been shown first, I thought that's where the vultures claws punctured through her makeshift armor and thought it was that arm. And then on page 17:
Ignoring panel 1 in panel 2 it looks a bit like she was bound at her other arm.
EDIT:
Hey, hold you horses. That panel, that shows her hurt right arm (page 20, panel 5) (Also relevent for @Dezaki):
That could also be her left arm all along. And even though the question "How are Nicole-sama's hands?" do imply otherwise, could it be, that only her left arm was hurt to begin with? (Except some small scratches on the right hand.)
@xyzzy i still don't understand some author's obsession with a school arc. like, they miss bein young or what? for me, school was suffering; years of having to learn pointless unrelated subjects and being the oddball of the batch..and that constant, ever-present fear of not knowing what the fuck you will do after high school that still haunts me today, years after i graduated.
Have you seen the Japanese workforce nowadays? High school was likely the last time any Japanese person had a relatively stress-free life. Just young enough to do their own things, not old enough to have to deal with overworking.
